Men's faces immediately come to mind when we think of hair cutting. It is a common sight to see men doing haircuts. But for the residents of Geruwa Rural Municipality 2 Shanti Bazar in Bardia, this is different. Because here, 21-year-old Anusha Tharu and 22-year-old Saraswati Tharu have been opening AS Hair Cutting and Beauty Parlor for 13 months, offering services ranging from men's haircuts to women's haircuts and beauty treatments.

Anusha and Saraswati thought of starting their own business after learning the 65-day free hair cutting training given by an organization. After passing 12th standard they started this job . After they started serving in a clean and modern style, male customers who cut and trim beards and hairs have also started to flock here . Somprasad Tharu of Geruwa Rural Municipality-3 said that he always cuts his hair here because the local sisters are serving in a modern style and cutting hair in the same way.

In the early days, Saraswati was not only afraid that opening a shop would not work, she was also afraid of what people would say. "I felt a bit ashamed at first because I had never seen a woman doing men's beard and hair cutting," she said, "As she worked using the skills she learned, the shame gradually disappeared." It is fresh in Saraswati's memory that her father and mother saved the money earned by doing wage labor and raised her education expenses because she did not have a farm. She happily told, "After starting this business and starting to earn, I have helped my father in household expenses." I have also started saving a little.' 

Saraswati's story is the same as Anusha's. Because he didn't have a farm, his father taught him up to 12th standard by farming with a bat. Even after seeing her father's suffering, Anusha was thinking that she could earn by herself. "I am the youngest daughter of the family after two brothers," she said, "I am satisfied by helping my parents with my earnings." They said that they spend Rs 2,000 per month on shop rent and other necessary goods and spend Rs 5,000 per month and share the remaining money equally. Anusha said, 'We are satisfied with our earnings even if it is a little.'
